Such a sad occasion.
I hope his family find peace.
RIP
Tragic killing.
For the record, most of those interviewed this morning in Blackrock also offered words of support to the abuse victim and her family.
Ah, that is nice of them. Fingers crossed for her pulling through and sympathy to his family.
A brave, decent man gone. I know it’s cold comfort to his family, but I hope they take some solace from the fact that Tony Golden died protecting others. RIP and condolences to his family and friends and the wider Garda community.
Very sad. RIP.
